The nation's housing market has soared during the coronavirus pandemic, up 16 percent year-over-year, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). The Liberal Party is one of three major parties focused on this central issue.

There should be no more foreign buyers in Canada. They own to much already and it isn't the same Canada I was born into.
